Written by

Are you looking for a summer internship that’s PAID and allows you to hone in on specific career goals?

The PSB summer internship program is currently accepting applications until Sunday, March 17. In addition to being well-paid, these internships also offer a well-rounded approach – interesting projects, field trips, professional development & support, and wide exposure to leaders/opportunities. They come highly recommended for any undergraduate or graduate student (especially from historically underestimated groups) who is interested in learning more about public service and making a difference in their community. There are a number of PSB internships available, but below are ones which may be of particular interest. You are encouraged to peruse the King County Careers website for more opportunities!
